Studio Visits with Adriane Colburn

Adriane Colburn is an artist based in San Francisco, CA. For the past several years, she has been working on a series of installations and maps that seek to organize and chart changes in the natural and urban landscape. These constructions, made of layers of hand cut paper often shed light on systems that exist below or those that are shielded by its exterior. Colburn maps out these “inaccessible” places, by collating and reorganizing visual information, (often based on landscapes or history) to create an abstraction that can be both informative and/or ambiguous.
